DO SOL DO
It was all that I could do to keep from cryin'
FA DO
Sometimes it seems so useless to remain
FA DO
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
SOL DO
You never even call me by my name.
DO SOL DO
You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings
DO SOL DO
And you don't have to call me Charlie Pride.
FA DO LAm
You don't have to call me Merle Haggard, anymore.
RE SOL
Even though your on my fightin' side.
CHORUS
FA DO
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
DO SOL DO
And I never minded standin' in the rain.
FA DO
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
SOL DO SOL
You never even call me by my name.
I've heard my name a few times in your phone book
I've seen it on signs where I've laid
But the only time I know, I'll hear David Allan Coe
Is when Jesus has his final judgement day.
CHORUS
then: the spoken part below has this played in the background:
(the numbers are complete bars)
C-2 G-4 C-2 G-2 C-1 G-1 and then C to finish out the rest.
Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song
and he told me it was the perfect country and western song
I wrote him back a letter and told him it was NOT the perfect
country and western song because he hadn't said anything about
Momma, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or gettin' drunk.
Well, he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent
it to me and after reading it, I realized that my friend had written
the perfect country and western song. And I felt obliged to include it
on this album. The last verse goes like this here:
Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.
And I went to pick her up in the rain.
But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got runned over by a damned old train.
CHORUS
So I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standin' in the rain. No,
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
DO SOL DO FA
You never even call me, I wonder why you don't call me
DO SOL FA DO FA DO
Why don't you ever call me by my name.
